    Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

    For anyone who dares to complain about UK's upcoming schedules, check this out (from Cal):

    2012-2013

    vs Baylor (at Rupp)
    @ Louisville
    vs Duke (Champions Classic)
    @ Georgetown
    @ Big East team TBA
    vs Maryland (grand opening of the Barclays Center)

    2013-2014

    @ North Carolina
    vs Louisville (at Rupp)
    SEC/Big East Challenge (TBA)
    vs Baylor (in Cowboys Stadium - doubleheader/girls game first)
    vs Michigan State (in Chicago)
    *In discussions with Coach K to start a neutral site series with Duke at different sites around the country, beginning in 2013/14.

    No other school has ever scheduled as many marquee games year after year as Kentucky has, and that obviously isn't going to change.

    Baylor in Jerry Jones' Pleasure Palace > Hoosiers in bloomington

    Cal is the man and UK continues to set the standard.

    UK is recruiting the Harrison twins and Julius Randle, both of whom are from Texas.

    Coincidence?

    I know your question was tic, but isn't it great? Cal at this point is the best coach, recruiter, and marketer in the country. But he is so far ahead of the game in other ways. That's what separates him from the rest.

    Let's not act like he's reinventing the wheel. Coaches have agreed to play in recruits home areas for a while now.

    For example, Kansas played in Philly for the Morris boys just a couple years ago.
    When all is said and done more is said than done.

    That's just one game out of a list of a dozen or so marquee matchups. He's not reinventing the wheel. He's just continuing the kind of scheduling that's a tradition at UK -- and UK only.

    So their out of conference strength of schedule would be #1 for many years in a row then, no?

    Nope, it doesn't work that way. That kind of honor would go to a school like Duke, where Coach K schedules a bunch of middle-of-the-road teams while avoiding marquee matchups with traditional powers. That's why SOS is extremely overrated in most cases.

    Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

    I like the game in Texas. Huge event with probably the biggest crowd ever for an NCAA game. He also mentioned getting a game at Lucas Oil Stadium for next year or beyond. That could be Indiana. So there's hope for the IU fans yet to play UK. The schedule this year will be just a tad weaker than normal but in future years it sure doesn't look that way. Cal mentioned playing a Big East team on the road. I wondering if he was referring to the Georgetown game or someone else?

    LOL on the Duke comment. Every year I look at where Duke is and I just shake my head. Never understood how that works.
